Prologue:
Around New year’s, I agreed on attending Congress meeting in Fukuoka, Japan. This would be my first to Fukuoka, the gateway to cultural and hot water spring hub in the island of Kyushu. I will never miss an opportunity to revisit ‘The Land of Rising Sun’.
There are three things that I love about Japan:
1. Food: It is not only the Umami that makes it special; it is the presentation and the effort it takes to make it a piece of art?
2. People: Without any doubt, they are the most courteous and helpful people in the world.
3. Toilet seat: they are perennially warm even on the coldest night!
Our itinerary and logistics including everything was planned by a travel agent. So this travelogue will not be helpful for persons with DIY and budget restrictions. However we all can enjoy the t’logue to Japan.
Our itinerary was as follows.
Day 1: BKK 2 FUCK: Red eye flight with morning arrival in Fukuoka airport.
Day 2: Drive 2 Beppu via Yufuin. Overnight stay in Beppu.
Day 3: Drive from Beppu to Fukuoka: Lunch at Kane Honke Crab; Afternoon drive to Sakurai Futamigaura’s couple stones. Overnight to Fukuoka.
Day 4: Morning meeting. Afternoon drive to Marinepal Yobuko. Return to Fukuoka: After dinner drive to Fukuoka tower. Overnight in Fukuoka.
Day 5: Drive to Dazaifu. FUCK airport. Return flight FUK 2 BKK.
